Professional Photographic Resources (PPR) hosted their third annual challenge to all of Atlanta, Georgia’s photo assistants on Sunday, June 27th. The 2010 competition divided the assistants into teams of two to show off their skills and agility and to just plain have fun.

Litepanels harnesses its Emmy award-winning LED technology to bring you the MicroPro Hybrid - the first professional LED light to combine “continuous output” and a “flash” feature in a single fixture. The Hybrid’s “Continuous Mode” provides luminous, wrap-around soft output that beautifully complements the camera’s video capability in today’s motion-enabled DSLR cameras. The “Flash” feature produces a 400% brighter burst, which is perfect for illuminating a variety of still images.

The Ranger Quadras were released in the US in July of 2009 and have become the leading mobile studio flash system on the market. The reason why is obvious; compared to the competition, their size, weight and capabilities put them at an advantage over anything else on the market today.

Starting November 23rd, 2009, when you buy any Elinchrom Quadra single or double head kit, you will get a customized version of the Kata One Man Band 72 bag.

It has been about three years since Elinchrom first introduced Skyport to the world. Since that time, Skyport has managed to become the second best selling radio trigger system in the US. Elinchrom has now announced the next generation of Skyport called the Skyport Speed.

Elinchrom’s small portable battery system the Ranger Quadra has been a huge success since it was launched earlier this year. Owners love how lightweight and compact the system is. Now, Elinchrom has provided us with enough MultiFunction caps for everyone in the US who has purchased a Quadra. Here is how to claim your free MultiFunction cap(s) to protect the bulb during transit.

The Kata Pro-Light Resource-61 (KT PL-R-61) is part of the multi-featured professional collection from Kata. Designed to provide the best carrying, storage and working solutions, this member of the Pro-Light range of products will cater to the smallest detail of a professional Photographer’s and Videographer’s needs.

Kata is so sure that you will love their new Lightweight Collection of bags, that it is offering a money-back guarantee. If you find a competitor bag that is similar (with the same level of protection, similar capacity, features and functionality) but which weighs less than your Kata bag, buy it and Kata will take back your Kata bag and return your money!

One of the highly anticipated additions to the new D-Light collection are Kata’s Capsules. These bags, designed for HDV camcorders, are built with two of Kata’s newest available unique features: Aeriform Foam and an Aluminum Skeleton.
